I was a Research Engineer at Mississippi State University, working on autonomous robotics for precision agriculture. My principal investigator is Alex Thomasson (Department Head of Agriculture and Biological Engineering at Mississippi State University). Most of my job responsibilities were: • Developed autonomous robot with Robotic Operating System (ROS). Such programs include object detection and avoidance with deep learning and computer vision, navigation, sensor fusion, localization, and mapping • Designed feedback controls algorithms for autonomous systems such as driving motors and other actuators • Specified and analyzed powertrain requirements for unmanned ground robots • Designed sensor processing system and developed processing algorithms and filters for RTK GPS, IMU, encoders, and cameras. • Power delivery and management • Multi-agent robotic system integration/collaboration • Developed wireless communication system, IoT (800MHz to 2.4GHz) • Data (sensor data and images) visualization, analysis, and manipulation • Implement and deploy programs on RTOS-based microcontrollers • HMI development • Management and design of wiring harness • 2D and 3D schematic drawing Show less
